Slecht nieuws voor iedereen die zit te wachten op de 'origens' van de Tomb Raider franchise, want deze game is verschoven van einde 2012 naar Q1 van 2013. De reden hier voor is volgens Crystal Dynamics dat ze simpel weg meer tijd nodig hebben om het nodige goed te laten werken. Is dit erg?? nee want de verwachtingen zijn hoog, en Tomb Raider is al jaren niet meer wat het geweest is. Dus ik liever een goed afgemaakte game dan één die half werk. Want Eidos is tenslotte geen Electronic Arts.

When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can't wait to share it with you.

Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game's release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

We're doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can't wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.
